No vectoring engines on the prototype but it looks like it may have them later

Odd thing about the photo, when jet powered aircraft take off, normally you would see a heat plume coming off the exhaust. In this case, there should be a distortion in the picture around/aft the exhaust nozzle area. Or even flame assuming that this thing would require afterburner during takeoff.
